This annual observance is hosted by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF) and was created with and builds on the work and learnings of the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) community partners. Fundamental to this day is a clear understanding that racial healing is at the core of racial equity. This day is observed every year on the Tuesday following Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
The National Day of Racial Healing is a time to contemplate our shared values and create the blueprint together for #HowWeHeal from the effects of racism. Launched on Jan. 17, 2017, it is an opportunity to bring ALL people together in their common humanity and inspire collective action to create a more just and equitable world.

South Sound Stomp teachers Amee Bahr and Zoe Johnson will be covering basic footwork and technique in this progressive class series. By the end of the series, six and eight count patterns along with swing-out basics will be in your dance vocabulary.

Register through the YMCA for the whole series. Each class will build off the previous week’s content; no drop-in attendance allowed. No partner necessary. Students rotate partners in class, but individual comfort level is honored.
